Has anyone tried the DX Engineering reversible 2 wire Beverage?
I think this is a W8JI design.
Yes, I know they are expensive and I can make one a lot cheaper but if
anyone can compare actual performance I would like to hear about it.
Thanks....

I think the white color is visible & they just step over it.

It's difficult to beat a properly terminated Beverage. I have one that is
between knee and hip height. Works like a champ.
Think you are right about visibility to Deer. VK6LK put me on to using
Round-up, and Deer collisions stopped. Also makes antenna inspections easy.
